it is really good phone! But can't say that it is the best phone of the year since samsung note 3 is about launch soon, which may overcome specs of this phone.and also with such a big screen and android processor it should have more mAh in battery.

AnonD-166368, 10 Aug 2013I think they don't want to complain about the nexus 7 (2013) and other tab because the nexus (... moreA nexus 7 costs 260 dollars and a nexus 4 costs 350 dollars usually .. buy these both and it will be 610 dollars ... all in one zu costs around 650 bucks ... nexus 7 and 4 have their problems .. its better to buy one and carry one instead of two .. :)

The ... moreI think they don't want to complain about the nexus 7 (2013) and other tab because the nexus (2013) was packing about mid -range and also low cost, that's they don't want complain.

Guys,How about the loudspeaker? isn't can be heard in some noise environment? Because I will always use the loudspeaker to heard music. I plan to buy this phablet, but I saw many complains about the loudspeaker poor in other websites, isn't true?

I have now the galaxy note 2 its amazing
I want to more to the sony its bigger screen and water proof give me more the processor is much faster and I belive that sony camera is much better than samsung I will miss the s-pen but I think its nice to give it a try
When you go for big screen you want more but I thing 6.4 is the biggest I can go for its an amazing device because its not a phone and its not a tab its both in hand

anyone who says that this thing is not good due to its size and camera flash read this :
The xperia z ultra Does not fall into the category of smartphones or phablets.. Its just close to a tablet .. For instance i am comparing this one with nexus 7 (2013)
The camera on nexus is 5mp with no flash .. the first nexus didnt had back camera .. did anyone complain then????..Match the specs this device still beats the nexus 7 (2013) easily ... snapdragon 800 is a beast .. Some people complain about internal storage of this smartphone that it is 16gb .. Brother nexus 7 has 16gb too with no sdcard slot.. At least this thing has a sdcard slot...The design is the killer thing here .... .. samsung has a wise trick upon their sleeves they just wait for other smartphones to release and after checking them out they release their ones with the features those one lack ..... samsung should have released note 3 with z ultra to compare with it ... join 3 galaxy tab 3 7 . still they wont be able to match this thing.......... Anyone who has any complain with this product dont buy it just go for another product/.....

I'm still 91% for the XZU. There are a couple of months till the device gets to my country, so I'll see what the final decision will be then.
